I also agree with others that if the GOP does get rid of it they'll just limit it to budget bills or continuing resolutions to keep the government open

Sure, but when the SCOTUS likely strikes down the VRA there will never again be a bipartisan 60 votes to bring it back, so either Democrats accept that the US Senate actually does more voting than just talking or we accept reform is never possible.

As it turns out the boring rules stuff is very important

Yes, and one of his first and most prominent flip flops that foretold his current weak willed status

They both used an income level if I recall correctly

Or having to explain why the Senate filibuster and increased polarization since then mean we're never getting back to that level of consensus again on any major issue.

Not me having to explain to someone there was a bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill in 2013 that passed the US Senate but was blocked by Boehner in the House from ever having a vote, which he later regretted, as to why any reform in the future will have to be a party line Democratic bill.

You're supposed to be a political pundit and historical analyst and you try to compare FDR's legislative action with Congressional majorities to Trump's mostly executive agenda based on his petty grievances? Well I don't know Patrick that doesn't make any sense to normal people.

And that was the case in the past when the media was more oriented towards your locality, and yet now despite having much more variety in mediums for news we've also made it all more national. Upside down for sure

Mamdani has lived in the US since he was 7 years old. This is just straight up Islamophobia and racism from Cuomo because his own party's voters chose someone else overwhelmingly, so he's stuck turning tricks on Fox News for votes in an election he'll lose anyway.

Well there goes the idea of anointing a cadet branch of the British Royal Family as new Canadian monarchs...

Prediction: White House touts this as a major turn around, but the reality is that China will never again buy soybeans from the US to the same level. China will continue pursuing contracts in South America in tandem with their infrastructure projects there. Net loss for US farmers overall.

Was the wind bad at all? I know those kinds of hills can channel it quite fiercely

Hold on. This person thinks an Irish woman is somehow an "American" and that both of these groups that have fought the British in the past want to actually emulate them? Dear god historical education is cooked all over...

😆

Now to be fair to her reporters get assigned things all the time, but it says just as much about the editors at CNN they've chosen to launder NY Post propaganda. But hey I guess they want to be ready for their potential Trump allied new owners soon? As if that will save any of their jobs

This is pathetic, even for CNN. As if people all over don't call older women who are family or friends aunt/auntie/tia, even if they aren't siblings of their parents. The fact CNN gave this time shows how broken cable news is. I don't know how @gloriapazmino.bsky.social actually put their name here

Peace!!

There's also been instances where the market reacts negatively to wage gains as well. It's so fucked.

Heard that one before the latest Trump tantrum broke it to pieces. Any bets on how long this one lasts?

I gotta say it's a small joy to see your daily drawings of your adventures in Japan 💙

It's telling that many of the Reagan, HW Bush, and even some W Bush era judges haver more frequently ruled against the Trump Administration than you'd normally expect.

Trump's whining about ballrooms is among the most elitist things he's ever done with the government is shutdown, bailing out Argentina, and wrecking US trade markets overseas, including the soybean farmers and cattle ranchers whose products would be served at these state events and who voted for him

Hakeem Jeffries endorses Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor US House minority leader ends four-month standoff over backing for Democratic nominee

4 months after the fact is insane compared to any other nominee where elected officials are known to just tack on their name after the primary is over.

You're missing the point here. It shows how unresponsive and out of touch Democratic leadership is that it took this long, especially when Jeffries own district supported Mamdani. You've never stopped to ask why this was all unusual or why Dems have poor approvals? It's stuff like this.

Just get rid of the damn thing and stop wasting time over little exceptions for little things. And after Manchin and Sinema holding up so many bills because they didn't want any "reforms" to the filibuster how about we all stop giving good faith that people will suddenly change their mind later

Nah they all cheer for Homelander to hurt people

What are the odds the first rain deluge that the poor construction collapses the roof?

Reminds me of this joke Conan O'Brien said about two Supreme Court Justices at the time.
